is it the same crab?

[troy tucker]

I don't think they are the same. the one looks red with black legs the one posted by arm. is purple with red claws. But both are cool but the Purple ones are cool +....

[Totenkampf]

the side bar describes them as being Insulamon palawanense and also goes on to say that only females and less dominate males are purple so you will have to get a colony with a dominate male to get the color of the submissive ones to pop. now theres a switch! there are five species now described but the only other one that they mention is the previously known I. unicorn. Some more pics!
